Please ask for detailed mounting procedure!

* This value is only applicable when using a thermal conduction to the heat sink Rth-cs<0.025 K/W. This
value can be obtained by using a thermal transfer compound with a heat conductivity of at least 1 W/mK.
The flatness of the cooling plate must be better than 0.05 mm overall. Surface roughness should not exceed
6.4 μm.

Ultra-High-Power Resistors

3/3
Pulse Energy Curve (typical rating for UXP-350 with 2R and 10 % tolerance)
Note: These energy values are reference values, depending on ohmic value and used resistive paste, a variation in max. energy
load capability is possible
Test procedure
Every test resistor was mounted with thermal compound (0.9 W/mK) on a water cooled heatsink

 Constant inlet water temperature: +50°C

 The test time of each tested resistor: 10min.
 Break time between two pulses: 1sec.
 To determine good / defect parts the ohmic value was measured before and after tests:
a change of tolerance of more than 0.1% means defect

Description of Pulse Energy Curve

 Shape of pulse = e-function

 Time between two pulses = 1 second
 Pulse length [ms] = time constant of 1 tau
(1 means tau = 1ms)

Example
At 1 ms tau the UXP-350 with 2R can withstand an energy level of about 60 J, when the pulse pause time is ≥ 1s

At a symmetrical frequency > 1 kHz at pulse length ≥ 10 μsec. the maximum applied pulse energy for
UXP-350 is a result out of the nominal power 350 W divided by the operating frequency
(at 85°C bottom case) (E = 350 W / F)

Pulse Power Curve (typical rating for UXP-350 with 2R and 10 % tolerance)
The power curve shows the max. possible power which can be applied for a certain duration.
Referring to the same test procedure as described above.

Description of Pulse Power Curve

 Shape of pulse = e-function

 Time between two pulses = 1 second
 Pulse length [ms] = time constant of 1 tau
(1 means tau = 1ms)

Example
For the time-constant of 1 ms you can apply about 120 kW max. (Pp = 2*E / τ)à, if the time between two such peaks is ≥ 1s
